Commentary on Hebrews 9:19

Theological / Devotional

When Moses. For the incident here described see on Exodus 24:3-8.

Goats. These are not mentioned in Exodus 24:3-8, which identifies only the animals of the peace offerings (see Exodus 24:5).

Water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop. These items are not mentioned in the account in Exodus 24:3-8. Their use in other connections is mentioned in Leviticus 14; Numbers 19. There is nothing in the Exodus account that is inconsistent with the added details given by the author of Hebrews.

Book. The sprinkling of the book is not mentioned in Exodus 24:3-8, but is not inconsistent with the ceremonies there described.
